NMFC 118600 - Gin Brushes in Boxes/Crates | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote your LTL using freight class 85 and list NMFC 118600 on the BOL; select boxes for single units or crates for bulk and long assemblies.
2. Protect bristles from crush: sleeve or wrap the brush rows, add spacers around the core, and use double‑wall boxes; choose a wood crate when shipping multiple brushes.
3. Secure orientation and handling: mark “Do Not Stack” if bristle heads face upward, strap boxes or crates to a pallet, and block to stop rolling or sliding.
4. Keep components clean and dry: line packaging with a poly bag or vapor barrier to prevent lint, dust, or moisture that could affect ginning performance.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
